I had just gotten my 401k loan money and was going to go to the different bike shops to look for a full carbon bike. I rode my 1885 Bianchi up to the annual CIBA Swap Meet just to the ride and look over stuff. I was talking to Mark O. about the fact I was looking for a new all carbon bike and a guy from a Richmond bike shop handed me this red Specialized 2009 Tarmac Pro. and said to check this out. It had great Fulcrum Race 1 wheels, Specialized carbon crank, and Durace 7900 levers and shifters. Ultegra brakes. I rode it and loved the ride right away. I decided to buy it even though it was just a little out of the price range I had budgeted for but I rationalized it with the wheels and the new Durace. Great bike, have put almost 3,000 miles on it since that day 2/14/2010. Come to the CIBA Carmel Breakfast ride most Saturdays after the 19th of june and you can check it out.Name: John Cook
